Our quality of living has improved so that I can work full time. My husband is unable to work but al least he can function as a human being. Many Dr don't understand or approve of methadone but keep looking for a Dr that does. Methadone I found also works for IBS. I use to suffer daily bouts and now I only have 1 to 2 days out of the month that I suffer. Methadone has been a wonder drug for myself and my husband.

I have found that taken methadone over any other medication for pain has been a blessing. I still have to deal with pain but at a level I can tolerate instead of constant pain. I take less of this then I would have had to take of any other pain meds.

I have found that taken methadone over any other medication for pain has been a blessing. I still have to deal with pain but at a level I can tolerate instead of constant pain. I take less of this then I would have had to take of any other pain meds. I take up to 15 mgs a day and have for over 31 months chronic lower back-pain and there are days the pain causes me to not be able to walk or stand so having this to help ease the pain is a Blessing. I really hate when I see a new Doctor and they ask if I am a drug-addict or an alcoholic all because I take methadone for pain, they should think before saying something to insulting a person that lives with chronic pain daily. You would think that a doctor would know what else this is used for besides Heroin users or drug-addicts

AFTER TRYING OTHER PAIN RELIEVERS AND FINDING LITTLE RELIEVE,I WAS INTRODUCED TO METHADONE THROUGH A NURSE WHO TREATS ARTHRITIS PATIENTS . THE EFFECTS WERE IMMEDICATE AND AFTER A MONTH OF SUCESS WITH METHADONE I ASKED A DOCTOR TO RENEW THE PRESCRIPTION AND WAS TURNED DOWN. MORE INFORMATION MUST BE AVAILABLE TO GENERAL PRACTIONERS SO WE ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THIS NEW METHOD OF PAIN RELIEF.

This medication works great for my chronic pain from Endometriosis and the 7 surgeries I've had to undergo. Without this medicine, I would not be able to have any life outside of my home...now I can work, play; have my life back!
